Abilities

Adventurer:

Marauder/ Warrior/ Laquerius Pugilist/ Monk /Secutor Guns and Magitek

Strengths: Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance.

Weaknesses: Also due to being a Garlean, Rio's natural aptitude for magic is somewhere between that of a rock and a ziz. While magic's not impossible for her, it's hard enough that she tends not to bother with it when she could really do anything with technology that magic would let her do.

Crafter:

Armorer Goldsmith Culinarian

Strengths: Rio's magiengineering abilities transfer well into a number of Eorzean crafts, mostly by coincidence. Also, she can cook just a bit. She's not horrible. Probably.

Weaknesses: Rio hasn't actually focused on any these crafts in any substantial way. It's just coincidence that her skills overlap with them.

Other Skills:

Magiengineering

Strengths: Magiengineering is Rio's bread and butter. It's both her hobby and profession. She possesses great potential for learning and studying subjects in this craft; as well as applying them.

Weaknesses: Although Rio is a magiengineering prodigy, she's young, and not the most knowledgeable magiengineer in existence. She is roughly as good of an engineer as Nero tol Scaeva and Cid Garlond.

History

Before The Calamity

'Ancestry

Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.

Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The van Rosch family was one of those families.

Post Calamity

---

Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. She's currently seeking Misaio, having been seperated from her during the calamity.

Additional Info

Relationships

Misaio Imella- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be.

Alothia Starkwood- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.

Lily Dawnsworn- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.

Vash Ashford- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least.

Lainseworth Ravencraft- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence.

Eric Verus- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. She believes him to be incredibly reckless and foolhardy thanks to this incident; and has resolved to watch any encounters she can between him and Alothia for her safety.

Souyo Xander- Half dead guy noted. Moving on.

Deirdre Ta'ea- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".
